Clunk when backing left

[Blue99]

Check the track rod end. Both ends need the ball joints in neutral position when wheels are straight if one is slightly twisted on full lock you can get a clunk kind of noise.
A good alignment technician would know this

Thanks jaykay and Blue99. I will check those.

Guys
I looked at my spreadsheet of work done, and I had not put new Tie Rods on the front. Did all the rest. At 108K, maybe they're worn.

Any sage advice on replacing them so as not to need re-alignment?

TIA

A rule of thumb is to count how many turns it took to take it out, and turn the new one in the same amount, but that'll only get you in the ballpark. You'll need it realigned regardless, but at least you'll be close enough to drive it to the alignment shop.

Replaced the Tie Rods; clunk still there. Took it in to my alignment guy and he heard it and said it was not suspension...it is body, so I'm not gonna stress over it.

Thanks all for comments.
